My younger daughter was prescribed with Florinef three months ago, may be this period of time is not sufficient to judge about the efficiency of a corticosteroid but I am so pleased with the way Florinef works that I decided to share my opinion with others. Our diagnosis is congenital adrenal hyperplasia, as our doctor - pediatric endocrinologist - explained it means that my daughter's adrenal glands don't produce enough cortisol for her body. She was diagnosed at an early age, when her height and weight just slightly differed from the norm. The doctor prescribed Florinef to boost the levels of deficient hormones in my baby. Since the time we started on Florinef we undergo regular tests to monitor her condition and according to the test results the medication works perfectly well. There is almost no threat for her normal growth. The prognosis is very optimistic. With the help of Florinef my daughter will be able to grow normally, the only condition is careful dosage of the medication and regular monitoring by her doctor. We are very happy as we were really scared by the diagnosis. What is also very important for me is that the medication produces almost no side effects. That would be horrible to see your little child suffer not being able to help. So, I?m 100% satisfied with the effectiveness of Florinef and I hope it will continue to work this way.
